MESSAGE FROM THE NEWLY INSTALLED PRESIDENT – CHUCK SEAVER

“As the incoming president, I am proud to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, Oakley Seaver and my great grandfather, Charles Baker. Oakley’s son-in-law, my uncle, Harold Cummings continues to be a long-time and active member of the club as well.

The past year has been a challenge for most organizations and civic groups but our club, through teamwork, has maintained the ability to service eleven schools and eighteen Kiwanis-related school projects, including the addition of our fourth Key Club at Hope International Academy. We will be adding a fifth Key Club this Fall at Real Life Christian Academy.
The club intends to expand its partnership with Read to Sydney and its Mobile Literacy Program. Plans are currently underway to reach additional areas of the South Lake Community, including unincorporated areas. Read to Sydney has opened doors in the community that may have otherwise remained closed to children with reading difficulties.
Alternative methods for awarding scholarships to graduating seniors are being considered to accommodate students who desire a vocational or trade school method of higher education. While these areas of higher education are often overlooked in the scholarship process, I feel that this type of higher education is crucial to the well-being of any community.
Additional service to the autism community is being planned for the upcoming year as well as fundraising efforts to accommodate specific areas of those needs.
Additional partnerships and community events are leading goals of the new year. I look forward to an exciting year of growth, teamwork, service and finding new ways to do new things”.
